Since the Historic Mount Airy Ghost Tours were so popular in its inaugural season last year, the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History is bringing them back this year. The first tour was Friday.
Matt Edwards, executive director of the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History, said the tours are like Hawaiian shirts, “once you get them out of the closet, they all come out.”
Edwards said once the tours started, everyone started telling them about the ghost stories they knew. Some of those stories have been added to the tour this year.
“If you came last year, the tour is not going to be the same,” said Edwards.
He said last year more than 1,000 people took the tour. He said the program came from board members at the museum and he has been pleased with its success.
“It’s been a great program for us. I was pleasantly surprised,” said Edwards.
